Log Your Story

Anthropologists have been ‘logging’ field notes in journals for years as a way of documenting their work with people. These notes are then used to help write up the final piece of research in a special form of writing usually referred to as ‘ethnography’. Gelf and I will of course be writing our own field notes, alongside our online b-log which can be read on the home page of this website, or followed on social media.

However, we thought it might also be a fun idea to get everyone doing a bit of their own logging. This way we can compare notes and see where our observations might match up!

Gelf and I would be therefore incredibly grateful if you could take the time to log your Christmas story by completing the short questionnaire by clicking on the ‘Christmas Journal’ below.

There are of course many other ways in which you might like to continue logging your story as part of this research. You may like to chat to us in person or online using the hashtag #TheFestiveLog, comment on one of our b-logs, share artwork or photos, or perhaps even take part in an interview.
